Surely this should be a section of the article Tibet? Do we have articles on the German people or the Guatemalan people? No, we have a demographic or ethnographic section of the main article. Adam 04:51, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- we have articles on the Chinese ethnic groups. --Jiang
There are probably some countries, such as China, Russia and India, which are so large and ethnically diverse that such a separate article could be justified, but I don't think Tibet is one of them. Adam 05:15, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Look at the list - although most are stubs, a few like Uighur, Hui, Mongols have some content. --Jiang 05:33, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I would put discussions about peoples in the articles relating to the places where the peoples live: Tibetans under Tibet, Mongols under Mongolia, Uighurs under Sinkiang-Uighur Autonomous Region or perhaps Chinese Turkestan. Since the Hui don't seem to live in a discrete area I suppose they would have to be an exception, although the article suggests they are really a religious minority and not an ethnicity.

So I see. I would incorporate that material into the Korea article, with the subheading Koreans outside Korea. I think there is far too much proliferation of superfluous and overlapping articles at WP. I know that Wikipedia is not paper but it still strikes me as untidy. Adam 06:10, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, Adam, the project Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic Groups is moving toward having separate articles on states and peoples. There is some pretty lively discussion on the talk page about whether this is a good or bad thing. I'm one of the partisans of the idea (for reasons expressed there). Come, have a look, and if you want to debate the issue it is probably more productive to do there than in the discussion of a single ethnic group or nation. -- Jmabel 19:44, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
